SecoGear – Installation, Operation and Maintenance Manual 37 of 56
Installing SecoVac Vacuum Circuit Breaker into
Switchgear Compartment
A. Place Circuit Breaker onto the Lift Truck
Maximum recommended lifting capacity for the lift truck
is 700 lbs.
NOTICE
1. Check the lifting and interlocking mechanisms of the lift
truck for smooth operation, and inspect the cables in the
hand winch system for any signs of damage, fatigue, or
wear before operation.
2. To pick up a VCB from the floor level, first lower the lifting
platform to the lowest position, Figure 5-2.
Before loading the SecoVac VCB onto the lift truck, assure that
it is in the open position and with the springs discharged by
checking the status of the indicators on the front cover.

4. Move the lift truck in front of the VCB and lock truck in
place using the floor lock shown in Figure 5-4. Now roll the
VCB onto the rails of the lift truck. The wheels on the VCB
should follow the rail guides.

5. The VCB should be pushed onto the rails until the locking
tabs on the side lock into the slots on the hoist rails. Check
that the locking tabs on both sides are engaged and locked
into position on the lift truck rails, Figure 5-5. Once both
tabs are locked into the slots, the VCB is ready to be lifted
to the correct position for installation. Figure 5-6 shows
properly loaded VCB locked in position, and compartment
interlock in the retracted position.

3. Adjust the rails on the hoist before loading the VCB. The
rails are adjustable and have 3 sets of slots on each side
of the hoist platform. These rails must be latched into the
center most slots of the platform for proper operation to
pick up the VCB, Figure 5-3.
